Chapter 1745: Chapter 1738: Humiliating Men Who Look Down on Women

Wen Xiuru was taken aback, "What is this?"

Yang Xianhui’s eyes were clear, and her voice sonorous, "This is the wedding gift from this general, your childhood sweetheart of over ten years!"

She did not lift the lid of the box, but the heavy thud it made upon touching the ground spoke of its weight and the contents it held within.

Wen Xiuru’s eyes shifted, and his displeasure grew instantly.

The notion that gifts he gave could be returned was utterly unacceptable!

He felt not only oppressed by Yang Xianhui’s official position but also that her act of returning his gifts was rude and uncouth!

He was about to speak up and rebuke her.

But Yang Xianhui did not give him the chance. With her hands clasped together and full of bravado, she declared, "This general and Young Master Wen have known each other for eighteen years, and were engaged from a young age. Now that Young Master Wen has found a new love, let’s consider our bond severed, with no further contact!"

When we meet at official gatherings in the future, this general wishes Young Master Wen a smooth ascent in his career and success!"

As she departed, she glanced at the woman behind Madam Liu, petite and shy with a blushing face, eliciting affection.

She was a girl completely different in character from herself.

The kind Wen Xiuru preferred; reserved, composed, and virtuous.

Yang Xianhui smirked, having long known Wen Xiuru was not her rightful match; she should have given up on him earlier!

Without a fiancé, she still had her responsibilities, a bright future, and the grand ambitions within her heart!

Each was far more valuable than being entangled with a man who did not love her!

She raised her red car robe and, with Lin Yu and others, turned flamboyantly to leave.

The Wen family hall cooled instantly with her ceremonious bow and gift-giving.

No one spoke words of congratulations anymore but privately commented that Yang Xianhui was grand and awe-inspiring!

Facing a broken engagement without humbling herself, gracefully returning the tokens, and ending a long-standing relationship, she and Wen Xiuru were separated, while he was merely a scholar yet to receive an official title.

Whereas she, had already been awarded the rank of general!

A mighty presence, waging battles across the land.

If Wen Xiuru did not possess extraordinary talent, he would never catch up to her in this lifetime.

"Ah, truly, a female general is different from ordinary people, grand and decisive!"

"I think this young master of the Wen family does not quite match up!"

"The Yang Family, generations of martial generals, can hardly be compared with a Fifth-Rank Official Family!"

"This woman surpasses men in many ways indeed, haha."

"Crude! An insult to the literati! Yang Xianhui... completely crude and unbearable!" Wen Xiuru, hearing these words, stormed off in a fit of fury, kicking the box over.

Most of the people in the hall had dispersed, when Miss Liu finally peeked out from behind her mother.

She glanced at that box briefly, noting how many objects inside were symbols of affection?

Now upturned on the ground, sullied by dust and dirt.

The General Yang Xianhui, she observed, did not seem at all like the shrew Wen Xiuru claimed her to be. Instead, her grand display was quite impressive to behold.

She also felt a sense of envy.

Yang Xianhui made decisions for her own life.

Something women like herself could never achieve in a lifetime.

"Young girl, what are you thinking! Quickly go and meet the madams with your mother?" Madam Liu urged her daughter.

Miss Liu obediently replied, "Yes, mother."

Trailing her mother, she couldn’t help but wonder, if it were General Yang, would she need to be like this?

Perhaps not.

Such envy.

The story of Yang Xianhui bringing gifts to the Wen family spread quickly through Jiang Du City, and Lord Wen couldn’t escape being teased a bit every time he attended court.
